Life Is The Greatest University
Tuesday, August 1st, 2017
Man on Earth is on a mission.. a mission to know his true truth… by living out the designated role in the most perfect fashion, duty-fully following the Director Supreme. Trudging on, he often fumbles. falling prey to his mean, lower, animal tendencies, only delaying his ‘return’ to the source to an indefinite period. How often he fails and how best he can go over in this coveted ride through the greatest university, call it Life University… Sri Jullie Chaudhuri rhymes on the beauty beyond compare of this Life University…
Life is always working in my favour…
…enchanting, repelling, sweet, bittersweet…
…contentment, torment…
…people…events…of varying flavour…
…each moment i do savour…
Life is the greatest University,
Wherein…reactions bind me…
…while responses set me free…
L – Life = Love
I – Initiates
F – Fabulous Fathomless Fruitful Fundamental
E – Expansive Experiences
One masters a lot of arts…
…as one travels through the various lanes…
…of experiences…
…as well as the speed-breakers that are the people one meets…
…along the way of life…
Quite often one tries to surpass what seems an impasse,
Consequently, one becomes a ‘marshall’ of all arts…
The art of getting irritated easily,
The art of rising to anger effortlessly,
The art of confrontations,
And the art of subtle arrogance…
The art of convenience…
…of tantrums –
Put the blame swiftly on someone else,
Then there is the art of surrendering to impatience…
When anger clouds introspection,
One ignores their own imperfections,
Thinking themselves to be above board,
Choosing not to explore…
…the voice of their conscience,
Overlooking past recollections…
…the mind plunges into mindless extravagance,
Then commences the blame game seeking no explanations…
…and a wholehearted indulgence in namesake plastic emotions…
However when one reaches rock bottom,
The only way out…
…is going up…
Or is it ‘growing up’…
How long can one remain an exuberant wave…
…sailing unmindfully upon the mist of ignorance…?
…upon the stormy river of youth…?
…upon the sea of material allure…?
…upon the ocean of transmigration…?
When the mind and heart in refined unison…
…with the soul…
…seeks a well defined alliance…
…gradually with worldly reactions end any kind of dalliance…
…welcoming transcendence…
…perhaps a long last conclusion in the journey of transmigration…
…and repeated reincarnations…
If one is intensely intently so inclined,
Fate endorses exclusive divine associations,
Accordingly Mother Sai’s magnanimous benevolence…
…awakens one towards Cosmic Adorations…
S A I…See Always Inside,
Seek All-Abiding Immortality…Supreme Absolute Infinite…
An awareness of the ‘I Am…’ identification…
…when occurs a universal harmonisation…
…between creator, created and the process of creation…
…that most momentous expansion…
…heralding an eternal celebration…
Thus i too made time to make friends with time,
Ere it left me behind…
…i quickly chose to walk hand in hand with time…
It then shook me awake to radiate my truth…
…which is every living being’s truth too…
It is a timeless inheritance,
Turning inwards…
…delving deep into my own essence…
…upon it i poured all my attention…
…only to be enthralled by a glorious emergence –
My acquaintance with abundance…
…of love a glistening effulgence…
…that is the truth of my being and becoming…
The truth of every being was love…
…a flow that knew not the word enough,
Love that nothing could interrupt…nor corrupt…
…nor diminish nor finish…
A love that brought balance…
…of harmony an assurance…
…into a higher way of living and being…
…a right royal deliverance…
There are innumerable famous centres of education…
…around the globe,
Yet,
Life is the greatest University,
This is a personal estimation,
And,
Experiences, Introspection…
…and Conscience…
…are aptly the most wonderful teachers…
…if at all one wants to learn their lessons…
Here there is no particular day of graduation…
…yet total dedication to self evolution leads to a merger…
a rhythmic revelation –
With the Supreme Soul…
…a reintegration…
…a long-sought amalgamation…
So too,
Until lessons are learnt and one starts to let go…
…elevate their position,
There will be many a confusion, confrontation and collision,
In conclusion it is suffice to say,
Give into love and give out…
…simply radiate, emit, emanate –
Peace beyond words…
…joy in spite of, because of…
…as well as through all the whatnots…
…and the at times overwhelming knots…
For Love is the sole true inheritance…
…of the soul,
Its purity frees the inner being from all that…
…fuels a sentiment of division,
Deepening understanding…sage evolvement…
…and uninvolved participation,
Leading to detachment…unaffectedness…
…and dispassion…
…to renunciation…
…and the glowing light of glorious liberation…
Life is always working in my favour…
…each moment i do savour…
Whatever maybe the flavour,
Life is the greatest University,
Wherein…reactions and expectations bind me…
…while insightful responses set me free…
